Catchy title, eh? Watch the video below and you’ll see that most money making blogs don’t actually make a large portion of their money from the blog itself.

The above video was made by Vic, from BloggerUnleashed.com.
How many times have your read about making thousands?
The fact is, those blogs that write about making money from blogging about making money are simply over exaggerated. Most of these guys make the majority of their money from other ways such as internet marketing, advertising, or focusing in on a niche such as politics, celebrities, entertainment, and so forth. It’s those blogs that will actually give you something to live off of.

In the video, Vic brings up the example about John Chow. Now I certainly don’t have a problem with John Chow, but what he says is true. The money John Chow makes doesn’t come from making videos about crap (literally), it comes from other sources.

But I want to make money!
Up-to-date, this blog has made me just a bit under $50. That being said, this blog has been active for a little over a half a year so $50/6 is $8.33/month. So where does the money come from? My personal income comes from website design, and flipping websites.

So for those who have been blinded by the illusion that I’ll start a blog and within a couple months quit my job and live my dream, there’s a really good chance that’s not going to happen.

Now I don’t encourage anyone to stop reading MMO blogs, but keep in mind that the real money is in actual work. No matter how advanced the millennium becomes, you still have to work to make a living.

Therefore I suggest if you’re out there to make money online, don’t waste your money on Becoming a Millionaire ebooks. Instead, read those Making Money Online blogs that actually tell the truth like Vic’s blog and keep in mind, the majority of bloggers on the internet either overstate or simply lie about their earnings. If you want a refreshing change from the typical Blogger Bravado, then take a look at making money with your website – a very hands on blog about getting the most out of your website (ok – money!). Like Vic says, you really do need to know how the Internet works in order to get somewhere.
